# CY7510 : Advanced Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Theoretical Chemistry
• The concept of spin density operator and the dynamics-time evolution of the density operator and the interaction picture-Magnus expansion and average Hamiltonians.
• Theory of spin lattice relaxation-Bloch-Wangsness and Redfield relaxation theories, correlation times and relaxation times from first principles.
• The Nuclear Overhauser Effect.
• Introduction to various operator bases used in pulse dynamics calculations in magnetic resonance-product operators, single spin multiplet operators, fictitious spin 1/2 operators and irreducible spherical tensor operators.
• Multiple quantum NMR-basic ideas of time domain multiple quantum NMR spectroscopy.
• The theory of two dimensional Fourier transformation in NMR-coherence transfer pathways-concepts and observables-a few selective examples from COSY, TOCSY and NOESY spectra.
